• Mapping Agricultural Crops and Socio-Biodiversity Production Systems in Brazil:

The activities of this project cover two lines of research and development of innovative instruments and methodologies aimed at supporting public strategies and policies related to the supply of agricultural products and socio-biodiversity products. Line 1: This line develops crop estimates (area, production, and thus productivity) under different agricultural scenarios for soybeans, corn, beans, cotton, arabica and robusta coffee, oranges, sugarcane, rice, planted cocoa, cassava, bananas, forest plantations, and wheat. High-resolution spatial mapping is conducted for coffee, rice, corn, beans, and wheat crops. Line 2: This line will develop estimates of productivity and profitability for socio-biodiversity products derived from plant extraction in different production systems across Brazilian biomes, including açaí, andiroba, babaçu, baru, rubber (extractive), buriti, extractive cocoa, Brazil nuts, juçara, macaúba, mangaba, murumuru, pequi, piaçava, pine nuts, and umbu.

• Neotechnologies Applied to Environmental Policies:

Co-development of tools based on neotechnologies to enable, through the dissemination of science and engagement with federal and state public institutions, the transfer, operationalization, and capacity-building of public agents to use innovative and disruptive tools involving big data and artificial intelligence in order to support decision-making and the formulation of environmental policies in Brazil and around the world.
